We are pleased to welcome Anna Klovstad to present at Mountain Minds Monday: “How Analyzing Real-Time Energy Data Helps The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District Save $300,000+ Per Year”

In
2008, the economy was down and Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD)
jobs were at stake, so the District asked its staff for ideas to save money.

Anna
Klovstad, Sustainability and Project Supervisor at TTUSD, proposed and successfully
implemented a real-time monitoring and data analysis system to reduce costs and
save jobs, all while contributing to the sustainability goals of the district.

Come
learn from Klovstad how analyzing the District’s utility usage data, in
combination with weather, past performance and other industry data can be used
to make money-saving energy decisions, and how students of all ages are
involved in the process.

Mountain Minds Monday will be on Monday, August 14th, 6-8 pm
at Pizza
on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5
fee includes pizza and salad. Before and after the presentation, there will be
time for networking.

The event will also be livestreamed and available online as
